"My daughter and I took my husband there this past Father's Day. It was our first time dining at Latin bites. We had reservations at 4pm but arrived about 20 minutes early and was able to be seated right away. The food was great; my 7 year old daughter had the empanadas as her meal which she enjoyed sans the yellow sauce. The husband had the mix to cebiche as an appetizer which my daughter shared with him and they both enjoyed it although my daughter said it was a little too "lemony" lol. I had the sirloin from the grill whic I ordered medium rare. It was tender and tasty but more on the rare side. I had a side of the plantains which were perfect and soft annd sweet just the way i like them. Tiramisu was okay."

"The food was very good and different. I had not had the opportunity to try food from Peru. I really enjoyed trying something different. The waitress was very attenting and helpful in guiding me through the menu selection. I would definately recommend it to others."

"A weekend getaway from New Orleans lead a friend and I to Latin Bites. The Peruvian blending of spices and traditional culinary preparation had me smiling throughout the two-hour, four-course experience. LB is a modern landscape with freshly prepared cuisines that are rich in texture and flavor. Our waitress Viviann did not take any leftovers from our table. Roberto Castro, the owner and executive chef made a humble introduction as he noticed from the kitchen how much I enjoyed the dining experience. A great dining experience that has so much potential."

"This was our second time at Latin Bites, and we came for the Ceviche, which we think is the best in town. We like the mixed seafood one and they do have 2 or 3 more on the menu. We'll be back."

"I like Latin Bites and that is why I took my friend from Florida to have a nice dinner there. Unfortunately, we have to try 3 times before we could find something in the menu that they actually had available. Then they made two mistakes with our order which prompted the manager to come to apologize. We appreciated the apology but some complimentary drinks or a small discount on the price would have been better. The waiter did what he could to ameliorate the situation and I really appreciated that. Nonetheless the fact remained. My friends' seafood dish was a OK and my lamb dish was salty. I still like Latin Bites as I have been there a few times and this is the first time I had a bad experience."

"I've been a fan since they were open on Nance. The food this time seemed a little off. The empanadas were not as soft and flakey as they have been. The restaurant itself seems to have just lost something. It used to be so special and a real experience when you went. Now it is just mediocre. It is starting to border not being worth the prices.
On a side note, the TVs that play pictures of the food is just tacky. Please take these down and try to remember who you were when you first opened.

"Had heard good things about this place and wanted to try it out. The menu is a very interesting mix of things. We tried the ceviche mercado and it was excellent. The main dishes however was a bit dissapointining after the great ceviche. Had the Peruvian beef tenderloin and while it was tender the dish as a whole was nothing spectacular and for that reason found it to be overpriced.My wife had their traditional Spanish seafood & rice dish and again mediocre. It was garnished with clams which were empty. Odd. And again overpriced.
The atmosphere was very lively - at times so loud that it was hard to hold a conversation.
But give this place a try. It's different.

"The food was outstanding. I grew up on Peruvian food and I was debating on saying out loud if it was better than my mom's home cooking! It's pricey and that was the worst part. The Chicha Sour was my pleasant surprise. It was delicious. I tried the Lomo Saltado and it was awesome. I ordered the Anticuchos and the flavor was spot on, although the serving size was very, very small. The cebiche was also fantastic. Just like I've had in Peru."

"Latin bites was delicious! The brunch menu is well priced and absolutely succulent. We tried five of the menu options and we could not decide which one we loved more. Some of the dishes are more traditional (like the breakfast plate) and others are new and exciting latin high-end cuisine (Arepas, Tamales...). Portions are a little small compared to some of the larger buffet style brunches at comparable restaurants, but you will leave satisfied without being stuffed or bloated.
My only criticism is that the service could have been more attentive. It took them forever to bring bread and waters to the table.
All in all a fantastic dining experience. This is a great new brunch spot for the weekends!"

"The food was good, perhaps not great, but good. The menu is very interesting because Peruvian food is a cultural blend of many things. However, when the bill came, there was an extra item on it. I pointed this out to the waiter, and he said, "I know" and took the bill to remove the erroneous charge. Perhaps there was something lost in the translation, but this raised a red flag to me."

"I definitely will return to try more of the dishes, they all looked devine! The Chupe De Camarones (shrimp chowder ++) was excellent and the Quinoa lettuce wraps were wonderful, as well. Service was very friendly. Outodoor view is subpar (unless you like to look at a parking lot) but the patio is nice - althought we asked them 3 times to turn the overhead fans on...they never did.
My negative comment is that they advertise happy hour as being between 5-7p but only at the bar or patio. So I asked that we be seated on the patio so we could take advantage of the HH prices. Alas, nothing we ordered was available at HH prices so that was agravating. They should be more clear as to what is included and what is not.

"My family and I ate here for Mother's Day... I don't give the stamp of approval that often, but this was the most flavorful food I had tasted in a long time (I believe Europe has the best/freshest tasting food into world)! Our server was friendly and we took his advice from start to finish and he lead us down a flavorful, tasty delightful path the whole way! From the CEBICHE DE MERCADO, to the ARROZ CON MARISCOS and ARROZ CON PATO, to the SWEET PLANTAINS, our server was on point! Of course there were plenty of PISCO SOURS flowing for the table!
The prices were great and the atmosphere was great for people watching (Latin Bites!!!)"

"We went for Mother's Day brunch. We got our frozen drink, which was very tasty, after we had finished our meal because they only had one blender. Seriously. One blender, and a menu touting half a dozen frozen drinks. Mighta seen that one coming. They comped it without being asked, but still. They brought the appetizers and entree out at the same time. They just seemed overwhelmed by a relatively small crowd. I still love the menu and food, and would really hate to see this place fail simply because they can't master simple logistics."

"It took the waiter about 20 mins to come to our table once we were seated ..They got my drink wrong.
After waiting 1 1/2 hrs for our food without our waiter not even showing up once to refill our drinks...
We had to get him and ask what was wrong... he replied hasn't the manager come to talk to you .????
So then manager came out with the lame excuse that the kitchen had gotten our order messed up...
We did not even get a complimentary drink ....after a bill of 150.00 dollars for just 3 plates you would expect at least a courtesy from the house....
Terrible customer service....
Too bad I was looking forward to actually finding a decent Peruvian restaurant in Houston

"We tried Latin Bites this past weekend and loved the food. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.
There was a wait between the appetizers and the main dish but the wait was worth it.
Stick to the seafood. If you want a steak or fries, go to a different restaurant.
Oh, make a reservation, the place is very popular and you will have to wait."

"Food was not delivered in a reasonable time. Never received entrees for entire table. Waiter had too many tables. Management did not care about poor experience even when we brought it to their attention."

"My family hobby is to go to best best restaurants.
A friend of us recommended us Latin Bites. So we decided to celebrate mothers day at Latin Bites
We make an appointment. Arrive on time. Order immediately our selection in less than 5 minutes.
We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes to be served.
The drink we order was the wrong one.
We were ignored several times.
Other clients who arrived after us were served long before us.
There is no way a Chupe, a Ceviche and a Lomo Salteado need 95 minutes to be prepared.

"We visited Latin Bites for the first time this week. The staff is extremely welcoming and accommodating. One of our party had a dish that was too salty. The kitchen quickly remade the dish and then proceeded to comp it unsolicited. The cebiches were well liked and the 48 hour chicken was moist and tasty. The warm rolls were delicious and left you wanting more. We would have rated them higher except for a few things - (1) half of our party ordered appetizers and the waiter brought the main courses out for the diners who didn't order appies which left the courses mismatched; (2) the meals seemed very carb heavy coming with both a potato (sweet or white) as well as rice (3) even when remade the salty dish was still too salty for our diner."

"A very enjoyable meal at Latin Bites this weekend with a family group. Our server was Victoria, who did an excellent job explaining the Peruvian dishes for our group and helping create a fine dining experience. Many interesting dishes and flavors to try. Our second visit to Latin Bites and it is becoming one of our favorites for treating out of town guests."

"We loved our main courses at Latin Bites. Upon recommendation by our server, I ordered Lomo Saltado, traditional Peruvian sautéed beef tenderloin. The meat was tender and deliciously flavored. My husband's grilled marinated chicken, was similarly juicy and flavorful. Both of us enjoyed the simple but tasty rice on the side. The menu says "Italians have carpaccio, Japanese have sashimi, Peruvians have tiradito.", so we tried the passion fruit tradito, which was tuna smothered in a passion fruit sauce. And I do mean smothered; the sauce totally overpowered the tuna, the corn and even the sweet potato puree (darn).
Still the main courses were good enough to bring us back. The drink menu also has interesting options to further explo"

"Excellent Peruvian food emphasizing ceviche, which Peruvians claim was invented in their country. The ceviche dishes are out standing. The other dishes are well prepared and deliciously spiced. They are presented on rectangular plates. However, the portions are small.
The service is pleasant and efficient. The place itself is elegant and well appointed. Valet parking is offered.
